Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

*Likely to sell out: Based on Viator’s booking data and information from the provider from the past 30 days, it seems likely this experience will sell out through Viator, a Tripadvisor company.
What travellers are saying
- Paul B3 contributionsMyself my brother and sister In law had the most wonderful experience of our lives. The crew were outstanding in their presentations and safety was at the forefront of our experience. Sea scooters were pretty easy once you had a go of them. Once out in the passage you just get lost in your own world and the turtles were so majestic and beautiful to behold. Our instructor took us to each turtle and photos were taken without us knowing. Was a once in a lifetime experience and one I will definitely be booking on my next trip to Rarotonga.
Thanks again to the Ariki Team and Ka Kite.Written 4 January 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

We also organized our hotel transfers with them and they showed us around the island and a small hike as well which was very kind.
Will definitely be back!Written 6 September 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

It was 09:00pm the night before and we had nothing planned i had searched up stuff to do everywhere but everyone was booked out.
I found charlottes page and send her an email asking if there was any chance she could fit me and my partner in for our last day, we did have a budget but were willing to pay for a good experience.
The same night she got back to us and said she could fit us in for a private tour the next morning at 08:30am which we took the offer and went there in the morning. Charlotte was so lovely and awesome to talk to, we had a guy who took me and my partner (cant remember his name) but he was such a cool guy and they offered to take photos on the iphone camera or their professional camera. We had our own go pro so we decided to go with professional photos. We had such a fun experience and it felt super safe and saw beautiful ocean life. The only downside i did have was that it did feel rushed towards the end but I was cold so it doesn't even matter.
We got our photos 3 weeks after the tour and they were absolutely stunning!
Thank you!!Written 17 October 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews. - Craig R1 contributionWe wanted to take a moment to express our heartfelt thanks for the incredible experience we had on your tour. From start to finish, it felt like so much more than just a typical outing—it was personal, intimate, and truly authentic. The small group setting allowed us to really connect with both the environment and the beauty of the turtles, making the whole experience feel special and unique.
Your passion for what you do shone through every moment, and we were so grateful to be a part of it. It’s clear that you care deeply about the ocean and that care truly enhanced the experience for us. We left with not only wonderful memories but also a deeper appreciation for the beautiful marine life.
Thank you again for such a memorable day. We’ll be recommending Papa Turtle Tour to everyone we know and hope to join you again someday!Written 26 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
